We've got our Big 12 tourney brackets below -- I guess they're printable -- for the action that will start on Wednesday morning.
[Editor's note: It's times like these I miss working in an office where I can get in on a pool with a bunch of people. Will anyone out there invite me to their office pool....? Please?]
